Rex Barnett (born October 22, 1938)[1] is an American politician. He was an officer of the Missouri State Highway Patrol for 32 years in Troop H.[2][3] He was a member of the Republican Party. Between 1994 and 2002, he was a member of the Missouri House of Representatives. He was born in Laredo, Missouri.
